Gameweek 3 transfers

menoscemo

My big gamble this week was to bring in Siem de Jong. I see FFS have oicked him in their Scoutpicks this week. Here's hoping...

See above. Siem de Jong at Newcastle. Making his full debut and Newcastle have a good run of fixtures coming up.

De Jong could be a good shout. Tadic from Southampton also looks like a player who'll rack up good points and has a nice fixture list.

Really tempted to wildcard.

Any thoughts on this

Defense is atrocious but it's a nice looking attack. It leaves me with nothing in the bank. It leaves me with just one Chelsea player. I have two Newcastle defenders. But otherwise I'd be happy with it.
If I don't do this I'll probably lose 0.2 tonight when Begovic and Isgrove drop.

Any thoughts?

Bump!
Any opinions on this team? Adebayor will not be captain by the way!
Selling Begovic, Fletcher, Rooney, Costa, Isgrove, Cahill, Clyne

Still have 1 free transfer.

Current Team:

Gk: De Gea, Gilks.

Def: Terry, Debuchy, Pieters, Taylor, Hutton.

Mid: Fabregas, Mata, Ramsey, Sigurdson, Albrighton.

Fwd: Rooney, Costa, Naismith.

Im currently banking the transfer but not very happy with my starting lineup. Alot of players playing away from home. Im thinking of going Costa to Adebayor. Any other ideas for transfers. I have 1.4 in the bank as it stands.

I'm keeping an eye on him this weekend, he's nicely priced if he does the business.

A lot of money tied up up front, which is having an effect on your back line. Maybe swap RVP and Sterling for Mata and Sturridge and upgrade Coloccini/Krul so you're not doubling up on Newcastle (maybe hang on to Clyne?)

FutureGuy

I'm at a loss as to my transfer. Head says Begovic to Krul, heart says need City players

Begovic
Caulker - Clyne - Ivanovic
Mata - Fabregas - Sigurdsson - Ramsey
Rooney - Costa - Fletcher
SUBS: Debuchy, Isgrove, Moore

Fletcher out to someone?

Herrera and Giroud. Two replacements?

Siem DeJong and 9.6 striker????

adebayor

Nah I don't see that, he's not even half as talented.

Skippy44

Can't be sure on Costa so I've done Costa -> Jovetic; gives me a frontline of Rooney Dzeko Jovetic. Risky doubling up on City attackers I know but their home form on occasions last season was unreal and they looked v good on monday night.

I like it very similar to my wildcard team. Id do collocini to dummett and duff to a 4.5 defender. Ill also be going with 2 newcastle defensive options I think they are seriously undervalued this year.

SpaceCowb0y

Wildcard team! Still not happy with it but need to sleep....

Very tempted to go with Aguero AND Jovetic up front instead of Adebayor though as at least i know one of them will have to get me some points! Defence is not great but is not hopeless either.

Anyone with any final words of wisdom before i pass out and hopefully wake up after the 11:30am deadline:rolleyes:

I have a decision to make in my defence. Who should I pick between Neil Taylor and van Aanholt?

Cheers guys. Pieters out, Taylor in. Did Costa out for Ade in my other transfer.

I ended up wildcarding with

Krul Elliot

Jones Kelly Dummett Hutton Wisdom

Sterling Ramsey Sanchez No 1 Sigurdsson Sanchez No 2

Rooney RVP Jovetic

On the plane over to the Villa game at the moment, somebody tell me I'm nuts before I land please!!!

I still haven't done it. Got too tired last night and couldn't think straight! I've had a quick look and it appears that team is still possible for me. Going to be on the road from half 9 so need to decide quickly whether or not play this WC..

Edit: Well b0ll0cks. Adebayor went up last night. It means I can't now play my preferred WC. I'll have to downgrade Coloccini to Dummet and probably keep Duff. On the plus side this will leave me with 0.4 itb.

That you roy

Hogey007

did two earlier in the week, sanchez to ramsey and bojan to naismith.
took the hit to fix my team a little and maybe hold off on the wildcard a bit longer.

Me too.

did my free transfer early in week but have costa.
Worth a hit to bring in naismith or wickham for bojan in case costa doesn't play?

james123

Costa should he be sold at least for this week?

Sturridge silva or Aguero sterling is my last remaining wildcard issue.

What is the rest of your team?

I've gone with Sterling/Jovetic (with enough to transfer Aguero in after this week)

DwightSchrute1

Is it worth getting rid of Costa for a 4 point hit? or should i risk it and keep him in my team?

krul elliot dummet hutton van aanholt taylor moore fab ramsey siggy marney sterling ade rvp aguero. Could replace sterling with silva and aguero with sturridge. Ive also considered your jovetic strategy.

Very similar to my own. Only i've gone with Rooney up front over RVP and have Kompany picked for this weekend in place of your Hutton.

Not sure about doubling up on Newcastle defence, i also have Krul/Elliot/Dummett but it will either be genius or disaster i guess. I will definitely be bringing in Aguero over Silva i'm just not certain of him starting yet so going for Jovetic for one week only i'd say. I'm not convinced on Sturridge's form just yet either (saying that as a Pool fan) and reckon Sterling still offers better point scoring potential for the time being.

Ive decided to go sturridge and silva will have money for aguero if need be. I want sturridge over aguero for gw 4 and 5 so hopefully injuries permitting I can bank next weeks transfer.

Best of luck! I'll be hoping Sterling outscores Sturridge personally though :P

Ace2007

reluctantly went with Jovetic last night for Giroud, was tempted to just bank the transfer, but followed the hype, left the captain armband with ade though.

Well that was a waste of a captain bye bye rooney

Right, Cahill > Jones is off the table, but now I'm thinking Begovic > Lloris. A long term change rather than just for this weekend, and thinking I'd better do it quick as price rises/falls might intervene otherwise (I have the 0.5m in the bank).

I haven't done it yet because I also have Chambers, Costa and Jovetic in my team and they're all likely to need the boot next week. But I could resort to my wildcard during the break.

Well, that worked out well....

Yeah everyone, Rooney is crap, sell him on please!

I'd like to but him back at 10.3 or even 10.2, sell sell sell.

I kept him on the now flimsy looking premise of a home game against leicester and away to burnley
Ive a wildcard in play now, so plenty to think about!

Arnold Tanzarian

Well to say I am sickened would be an understatement! Used the wildcard because I was 20 points behind the leader in my pay league and now im 40 behind him, absolutle horror show of a week! Transferred out Costa for RVP and made him my captain, he is now out for anything upto 2months (knee surgery apparently), he got me a total of 4 points. Oh well lesson learned! Going to give it a break now for a week with the international break there will surley be a few injuries to players away on duty. The united fan inside my heart tells me falcao will be a demon for goals, although my head is saying costa/aguero . Feck it anyway wildcard gone and rvp gone in one week. Head is well and truely gone

Hmm, it is possibly my favourite Mick gif.

Looking at my short to medium term plan I really didn't want Aguero and Ade to rise so soon. Doubts creeping in that I'm holding onto the idea of keeping the wildcard in the face of all evidence against.

Looking at options again properly and think I'm ok.

Thanks Super Mick.....

Not a gif, but still a worthy mick mccarthy gem to add to the archive
